FAQ's
*What is the difference between GREEN TROLLEY and RED TROLLEY for public tours?
Both trolleys are the same and run the same route. They are listed as their color for your reference when boarding or if purchasing tickets with another family to ensure you are all booked on the same trolley!
*Is there an age limit for a lap child?
No, however if your child will not be comfortable sitting on a lap for the ENTIRE RIDE, please purchase an additional seat. Our Public Trolley Tours are very full! Typically there will not be extra seats available for your child to sit in if a ticket is not purchased for this child. A lap child really does mean a lap child for the entire ride.
*Can we bring alcohol on board?
You are welcome to bring a personal sized snack and beverage of your choice on board, including alcohol. Please note that the Franklin Holiday Light Tour is a family friendly tour. Also, remember there are no restroom breaks during the tour!
*Can we start our PRIVATE TROLLEY TOUR at a different time or location than listed?
